Cindy Kolbe worked as a nonprofit director, group home manager, and literacy instructor. She has been a life-long disability advocate—even before her daughter Beth was paralyzed in an accident at the age of 14. After the accident Cindy and Beth became a team. They shared extraordinary adventures, traveling from a small town in Ohio to Harvard and around the world. Cindy wrote a 2019 memoir of their story titled Struggling with Serendipity. A second edition of the book launched in December of 2022 with a new title, Just Keep Swimming: a crash, a quest, and waves of hope. “Hope is an incredibly powerful thing. And if you never give up – hope wins.” Cindy published over 50 articles in two years and volunteers for disability and mental health nonprofits. She is a peer mentor for the Reeve Foundation. She would love to connect with you! Visit her website www.cindykolbe.com to sign up for her free “Just Keep Swimming” newsletter to access resources, updates, and giveaways.
